Feierabend

Claudia Pichler is one of a kind: the Munich native is as gentle and charming as a spring morning, dissecting all-too-human abysses with refined language and a Bavarian accent, while skillfully mastering the entire spectrum of comedy. An evening with Dr. Pichler—who wrote her doctoral thesis on none other than Gerhard Polt—combines sharp-tongued social observations with wonderfully dry humor.

In her third solo program, she devotes herself to her favorite time of day with humorous stories and cryptic songs: the end of the workday.

Political greed, envious neighbors, or the big questions of love in the age of online dating: in the maze of modern beliefs, the search for meaning constantly blossoms and usually ends with a happiness coach—or a cheerful "Feierabend" at the theater.
